I remember several moms from my elementary school hoarding Beanie Babies back in the 90s. Being a kid and seeing their special closet stocked with every Beanie Baby imaginable was memorable. They were all Jewish. I didn't realize it at the time.

If the "this will be worth a lot of money in a couple of decades" shit is supposed to be the appeal from the start, it doesn't work. Someone has to actually want the thing for a reason other than "number will go up in the future".

Probably a more stable collectibles market than Pokémon cards

Check the sold listings on eBay.

Yeah. That’s exactly it. Money laundering and tax fraud. It creates a lower market of collectibles. Don’t know and don’t care, I don’t buy art or baseball cards either. A sign of a good collectibles market tends to mean a healthy economy with surplus. When they spike it means it’s time to shore up. When they’re valueless you buy them as speculation.

And what’s stopping that in collectibles market is a verified chain of custody or ownership history, certification or external valuation and certain intrinsic (but yes potentially forgable) identifiers.
Fucks me, not my bag.

They’re the opposite of an NFT and just as useless.

Almost certainly just the seller buying from himself with a different account, trying to artificially increase the price like the NFT bros did all the time. You eat the fees but you can pump the price insanely high if someone’s stupid enough to take the bait

This is actually a great way to tell if something is actually valuable or not. If the 'errors' or bad versions of it sell for higher than the pristine ones, it has no actual value.

TY has a new CEO coming in, and the team is working on a magnificent new lineup for 2024 which will be unveiled at TYcon in November. Mainstream media is going to jump on it and it’ll bring in a bunch of nobeaners to the BB ecosystem. So bullish right now about these updates, make sure you get a suicide stack of BBs before it’s too late. We’re still early.

Do you think I could find a legit original rare beanie baby in my shit eastern europoor country? I found a bunch of shops and people selling them, but I have no idea if they're original or if their piss poor washed and rewashed condition won't murder the price. I could of course send it to a toy expert to make it look brand new to fool the morons on Ebay

Beanie Babies have limited upside unless the Fed starts accepting them as collateral for open market operations.

On the balance of probabilities I think funko pops have much more potential for rapid price appreciation. There is talk that a sovereign wealth fund is accumulating them instead of holding foreign reserves. I think this is the Bretton Woods 3.0 system that Zoltan Poszar was talking about.

I forget what this scam is called, but it was used a lot recently during the graded card and graded video game bubbles. Imagine you are part of a group of, say, ten insiders. You each agree to commit $100k to the scam, which will take years to pull off. First, you buy up the supply of something that is scarce and cheap (think some shit video game for the Super Nintendo that no one cared about but probably only has a couple hundred sealed copies left. You buy 90% of the supply in stealth over time. Than you get them graded (bribing or owning the grading company helps here). Then you slowly auction the supply to each other. The insider group bids up the prices, but it doesn't matter because you're just passing money back and forth within the group (at a loss of eBay fees and after 2020 online sales tax). After a few years (yes, YEARS. The scam is in depth), the sold prices start getting pretty high. You may get an authentic media story on the insane rise in price, but usually you have to write the stories yourself and pay to get them published and pushed. You continue your bid circle until some Timmy (the mark) comes along after hearing on CBS how le cards are going parabolic and have been for years and will continue to do so forever. How could he lose money. Then when his actual bid exceeds the shill bids, you let him win his prize. Finally, after all that time and gaslighting invested, your group scam has made some revenue. Now you have to reel in even Timmys during a mania phase to cash out all your worthless graded vidja. The group can bring in millions if the scam is successful, and the Timmys lose it all or end up bagholding for years for marginal gains.
